It is an incredibly simple fix they should have rolled out to users well before the expiration date.

Whoever wrote that bit of code probably left TiVo long ago, was maybe never even aware of the problem (given the stupid way in which that code is written), and if aware, likely failed to pass that awareness on to anyone else. Perhaps he thought, "Yeah, I'll fix that later, I've got plenty of time," and then promptly forgot about it.

The only thing different that may affect you is the addition of using Bonjour for the Tivo DVR discovery protocol.
Bonjour will be setup as the default protocol with the new installation, but you will still have the option of using Tivo Beacon and I recommend that you do so.
That selection will be found in the Tivo Server Properties under the Network tab.

ETA: Also, under File -> Preferences, you will have a file transfer speed option that affects transferring files from Series 4 Tivos.
I think the faster transfers are selected by default.
This may or may not affect how you use the files on the computer.

I'm limited to using TiVo Desktop version 2.7 because installing v2.8 causes playback conflicts with Windows Media Player on my XP machine. Too much hassle installing third-party codecs just to make WMP and TD work together, so I'm sticking with TD v2.7 to push content to the DVR and TiVoPlayList v0.71 to pull shows from the DVR.
